Temporary epicardial pacing wires are associated with rare complications. Most of these occur in the chest. Even rarer are complications that occur within the abdomen. We report a case of migrating epicardial pacing wires entering the abdomen and penetrating the transverse colon found incidentally on colonoscopy in an asymptomatic patient.

متن کاملRetained temporary epicardial pacing wires: a rare cause of prosthetic valve endocarditis.
Temporary epicardial pacing wires (TEPWs) are commonly used during cardiac surgery to meet unforeseen complications like heart blocks or asystole. These are generally considered to be safe. The incidence of major complications with their use is low, but could be life threatening. Complications can be divided into those encountered during placement, removal, or retention of temporary epicardial ...
